Ivy's Guide To Body Boundaries - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Ivy can hardly wait for a day at the waterpark with her family! There will be splashes, sunscreen, and big belly laughs. Throughout her morning, ordinary encounters remind Ivy that she is the boss of her own body.

This gentle and age-appropriate story helps parents and caregivers begin conversations about consent and boundaries in a way that feels natural. The author intentionally did not include any fear-based language or overwhelming anatomical details. The goal is not to frighten children, but to empower them. You'll notice many opportunities for open ended conversations with your child. Parents and caregivers should think of this book as more of an interactive guide than a short story.

As you read together, your child will learn:
• Their body belongs to them.
• It is okay to say no to unwanted touch.
• Adults should listen and take children seriously.
• Children can and should speak up when something feels uncomfortable.
• Respecting other's boundaries is important.

Ivy’s Guide To Body Boundaries is designed for children ages 2 to 8, but the author also hopes that it will aid in healing the inner child of adults who experienced childhood sexual abuse. The last page of the book includes a poem titled Hey Little Me by Mother Moon which speaks directly to the wounded yet resilient adults who endured childhood sexual abuse.

1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will experience sexual assault before the age of 18, most often by a family member.
If you have been meaning to start the conversation about consent with your child but were unsure how to begin, Ivy’s Guide To Body Boundaries offers a gentle and practical starting point.
